Donate to the Portrait Fund today

The National Portrait Gallery established the Portrait Fund to support future major acquisitions, many of which are pictured above. These successes were made possible with help from people who share our belief in the importance of securing great portraits for the nation.

Donating today will help us ensure that the Gallery’s Collection continues to inspire visitors long in the future. Recently, the Portrait Fund grew by £2 million thanks to doubled donations made possible by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Department for Culture Media and Sport. The Portrait Fund is currently worth £8.5 million and our ambition is to grow it to £10 million.

We urgently need to raise funds to support the £10 Million Portrait Fund Challenge and provide the Gallery with the best possible chance to secure and safeguard significant portraits for the Collection. We need your help to continue collecting and commissioning great portraits.
